ACTION
Pause is a drop-in service in Birmingham city centre. It was commissioned by Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust following a shake-up of child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in the city on the back of a consultation with young people and stakeholders. As a result of the consultation, the age range for services was increased from the conventional birth to 18-year-old range, up to 25.
Pause, which is run by The Children's Society, was commissioned and designed to deliver services with this wider age range in mind. The idea of extending eligibility was to avoid a cliff-edge for young people moving from child mental health services to adult mental health services.
